Mission Spotlight

The Fillin’ Station (Timberlake’s Food Pantry) welcomes our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. We provide top-quality groceries in a friendly, safe environment.

We offer drive-through, contact-free distribution on Mondays from 5:00–6:30 PM and Fridays from 11:00 AM–12:30 PM, rain or shine (except for a few holidays). We update our Facebook account regarding closures and report them to WSET. No appointments are required.

We are an authorized USDA distribution site and a partner within the Feeding America network. Registration is optional, takes about five minutes, and can be completed on the spot. Guests who qualify for USDA food will receive additional selections, but everyone who comes will receive food.

Food for Area Students

Timberlake provides food bags to four local schools for distribution to students from food-insecure homes. The program has expanded from modest beginnings two years ago, now serving from 75 - 125 students each week. Youth, Adult, and Senior Timberlake teams are actively involved in the program. We partner with Park View Community Mission for this ministry, which greatly increases program capacity for additional students and schools.

The Piecemakers

This group makes quilts and blankets for new babies, missions, and hospital patients. They also have seasonal projects and teach adults how to sew. For more information and how you can be a part of this group, please contact us.

Puerto Rico Missions

Timberlake loves our church neighbors in Puerto Rico! We sent multiple mission teams to San Juan to help with church rebuilding after Hurricane Maria and our relationships with the Emaus UMC and Rio Piedras UMC churches continue to grow. We look forward to longstanding relationships with God's people in Puerto Rico.

The Yarn Connection

This group meets to make prayer shawls, baby blankets, and sweaters for missions. Sponsored by the Grief Ministry. For more information, and to join this group, contact us.

Meals on Wheels

Timberlake is one of the wheels behind the meal as a partner with Lynchburg Meals on Wheels. Our volunteers take care of a route at a city apartment complex. The ministry provides balanced, nutritious and hot lunch meals for the frail elderly and younger disabled shut-ins who cannot cook for themselves and may be unable to leave their homes for meals. What a blessing to the drivers and to their neighbors! Contact us if you are interested in serving!
